Andrea Nightingale argues that Plato shared in this culture and appropriates specific Greek religious discourses and practices to present his metaphysical philosophy. In particular, he uses the Greek conception of divine epiphany - a god appearing to humans - to claim that the Forms manifest their divinity epiphanically to the philosopher, with the result that the human soul becomes divine by contemplating these Forms and the cosmos. Nightingale also offers a detailed discussion of the Eleusinian Mysteries and the Orphic Mysteries and shows how these mystery religions influenced Plato's thinking. This book offers a robust challenge to the idea that Plato is a secular thinker"-- $c Provided by publisher 505 0 $a The forms, the good, and the divine -- Eternal longings -- Dialogue of self and soul -- Wings of desire -- The Gods made visible -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index. 600 00 $a Plato $x Religion. 600 00 $a Plato. $t Dialogues. 600 07 $a Plato. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00046610 630 07 $a Dialogues (Plato) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01357024 650 0 $a Philosophy and religion $z Greece $x History. 650 7 $a Philosophy and religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060826 650 7 $a Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093763 651 7 $a Greece. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208380 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Ebook version : $z 9781108945790 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023851.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DE90314EEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
